During our childhood, there was not such a wide variety of toys as now, so we had to invent toys for ourselves. Some of the toys were quite dangerous, but that is what made them so popular among the children in the yard. We invite you to remember the most dangerous toys of our childhood.
Sprinklers
What do you think a “sikalka” is? Something from the word "sic". This is true. This was a popular weapon for nearby backyard water “fighting” before the era of the advent of disposable syringes in pharmacies. The “sikalka” was made from an empty shampoo bottle or a liter plastic bottle of “Belizna”. A hole was made in the cork with a hot nail on the stove and half of a ballpoint pen without a refill was inserted into it.
All this was sealed with mastic or plasticine. Water was poured into a bottle (for the first time at home, then from a pipe under the balcony) and splashed at the opponent. This was an alternative to the expensive and scarce water pistol. By the way, the “sikalka” was great for quenching your thirst.
Dart
A piece of paper, 4 matches, a needle, office glue and thread. They hung a homemade target from a notebook sheet on the wall carpet and played. One day my friend and I were playing darts at my house and got into an argument. Out of anger, he threw a dart at me and stuck it right in my hand, and in retaliation I hit him in the stomach. On the street they made more darts from welding electrodes.
They sharpened one end on a curb stone and tied pigeon feathers to the other. They threw them at wooden doors and trees.
Slingshots
Who remembers homemade slingshots? They were of two types: classic and keyed. The classic ones were cut from a thick hazel branch with a fork, a wide gray rope was bought at the pharmacy, a piece of leather was taken out (you could secretly cut the houses out of a travel bag and dump it on your sister) and everything was fastened with copper wire or blue electrical tape.
The slingshot was loaded with smooth pebbles, which were often brought into courtyards along with sand, or with unripe berries such as rowan, plum or cherry, which grew in abundance behind the house. Sometimes the power of a stone shot was enough to shatter a champagne bottle from three meters away. Such a slingshot was valued due to the fact that not everyone had the skills and funds to create it. It could be exchanged for other valuables such as inserts from Turbo, CinCin and Final90.
Knives
In my opinion, every boy had a folding knife like this in his childhood. This has always been a source of pride. He was carefully kept away from his mother's sight and was not often taken out into the street. The knife was always in the sand, remember? And all because he was just a tool for playing “knives”.
There were many game options, but most often we played “Zemelka” and “Tanchiki”. Each game had many varieties. For example, “Zemelka”: they drew a circle and divided it equally by the number of participants. Everyone stood in their own area. Then, while standing, they stuck a knife into the enemy’s area and cut off a piece of his land. “I got wounded” (didn’t stick it in) - the move passed to someone else. And according to one rule, you had to stand on your land all the time as long as you can. According to others, you could stand outside, but in the event of a catastrophic reduction in your area, the enemy offered you to stand on it for three seconds. If you can't resist, you're out. You could even stand on tiptoes of one leg - the main thing was to hold on for three seconds.
Boomerang
Smoke blowers
Only our generation knows what the connection is between a child’s tumbler or a tennis ball and this. But we know what will happen if pieces of this special, magical plastic are wrapped in foil or newspaper, set on fire and extinguished. How many nerves did the guys spend in their garages when such a miracle flew to them from the roof?

Manufacturing process
Now let's move directly to the question of how to make a homemade scarecrow.
To do this you need:
Disassemble the clothespin itself into three parts. Namely: two halves made of wood and a spring made of metal.
Using a penknife, you need to finish both halves. It's not difficult to do this. To start, you just need to cut a small groove on one of the wooden halves. Take your time, your fingers are much more valuable than any clothespin. Then divide the other half into two parts.
Then the spring must be pulled back to the indicated groove. This must be done carefully. So that its protrusion fits into this very groove.
Then attach the short piece to the long one. To avoid mistakes when assembling, before making the scarecrow, be guided by the factory grooves. After everything is in place, you need to fasten the elements with an elastic band. That's all. The clothespin scarecrow is ready.
Checking for “combat readiness”
When asking how to make a scarecrow, you should take into account that this device must be ready to fire. That is, it is necessary to carry out verification. To do this you need to do the following:
- Pull the top forward. Until the protrusion of the spring is in the factory groove on its surface. When you achieve this, then pull this part back. Until the protrusion of the clothespin is in the groove you made at the bottom of the match shooter.
- Then select a projectile and load it by lifting the top part of this device. In this case, regular matches or metal clips are ideal.
- After this, pull back the spring so that the trigger bar is released. This will result in a shot. That is, the device works.
DIY gun that shoots paper
Here you still need a rubber band, since it will make it possible to pull back the piston, which will then forcefully return back and push out the bullet. A bullet is an ordinary piece of rolled paper. By the way, we made the same version from cardboard and it is eternal, as it does not bend and works like a charm, and the ability to use 2-3 rubber bands in this case for greater tension and shooting power is also pleasing. They can safely knock down not just cups, but also bottles or cans. A paper gun also works, but the maximum is one rubber band, otherwise it will bend, which makes it less powerful.
Here is our video with a master class on how to make it out of paper.

Checking the product
To do this, perform the following steps:
- 1. Pull the upper part forward until the spring ends up with its protrusion in the factory groove. Once you have done this, you must pull this part back until the protrusion of the clothespin is in the groove that you made.
- 2. Now you must select a projectile and load it. This is easy to do: slightly lift the top part. Matches or paper clips are best used as projectiles in this case.
- 3. Then we pull back the spring until the trigger bar is released. After this there should be a shot. If so, hooray! You did everything right!
Toy air guns
The difference between toy air pistols and standard or other types of non-combat weapons is the low shot force of up to 7 joules, with a similar design to military weapons. Such pistols are produced by both domestic and foreign representatives and are available for free sale. The cost of the simplest models starts from 2,000 rubles, and the upper limit is located at 15,000 rubles. The models have some differences:
- The material of manufacture is most often represented by stainless steel, impact-resistant plastic is also often found;
- The ammunition used is used in the form of classic shuttlecocks or caps disguised as pneumatic bullets; steel balls are less common;
- The principle of operation is the presence of a piston and spring, or similar to the action of a military weapon with a significantly reduced shot force.
The low charge force and limited range will not allow this type of pistol to cause significant damage to the property or health of others.
In terms of their size, such pistols, despite their children's status, do not differ from the original military weapons, while having less weight. In addition to low charging power, this type is characterized by ease of recharging and ease of handling when using. Disassembly and cleaning of the main components is carried out independently under the supervision of an adult.
What do they shoot with?
Shooting is carried out depending on the type of ammunition used. Magazine-type pistols use steel balls marked “BB” with a diameter of 4.5 millimeters. This type of cartridge has a number of disadvantages compared to classic lead caps:
- The ball's flight speed is 80-90 meters per second, which is inferior to shuttlecocks, however, given the specific nature of use in children's hands, this indicator cannot be fully considered a disadvantage;
- The accuracy and accuracy of shooting of such ammunition is also inferior to caps, which will require more time for exercises during shooting;
- The main drawback is the material used. Metal tends to ricochet off any hard surface, which, coupled with children who are inexperienced in handling such weapons, can lead to serious injuries. At a distance of less than 10 meters, the ricochet trajectory of the cartridge is unpredictable, which entails a significant danger to others.
The advantage of using such cartridges is the ability to shoot at speed, and some models allow you to shoot in bursts. The solid composition of the metal has penetrating properties, and the cartridge’s impact allows it to effectively hit glass, wooden surfaces and other soft materials.
The second type of cartridge used is the lead shuttle, which is used in drum-type pistols. Less often, such cartridges are disguised as false cartridges similar to combat cartridges with a lead core. This type of bullet has its own advantages:
- High accuracy even at distances of 30-40 meters in comparison with steel competitors;
- High flight speed of 110-120 meters per second;
- In most cases, there is no ricochet from hard surfaces; when hit, lead is deformed and does not pose a threat to others;
- The cost of such cartridges is low and averages 200 rubles for a set of 50 cartridges.
What are they made of?
Manufacturing materials for the production of such pistols are taken on the basis of reduced shot power, but while maintaining maximum identity with the original samples of military weapons. The most common material is silumin - a soft metal that is easily deformed under strong impact, but is lightweight and allows children to use such a gun without much effort.
Also in mass production, there are impact-resistant plastic products that are used by manufacturers from China and Europe. This material is easy to use and weighs less than its competitors. The disadvantage of using such material is less reliability and susceptibility to deformation with frequent use, since with each shot the ammunition exerts force on the barrel and moving parts of the pistol.
Wood, stainless steel and high-strength modern materials are practically not found on children's air pistols in the mass segment, since the cost of such products is extremely high - they are not popular in the domestic market.
How else to effectively scare birds away from the garden
The most effective methods of scaring will be those that make them truly afraid. They say that if you shoot several birds, the flock will never fly into this garden again.
A more humane way to intimidate a flock of birds would be to capture several living representatives of the bird species. Prisoners are placed in cages with their legs tied to make them scream in fear.
But most owners of personal plots will never use these cruel methods. Many people simply inflate colorful balloons and tie them in the center of the garden bed on long threads; they hang bright long ribbons or shiny Christmas tree decorations on the branches of bushes and trees. As a last resort, instead of berries, they will offer the birds painted pebbles placed between the strawberry bushes. Some gardeners simply hide ripening strawberries under dry hay so that birds do not see them. Hay needs to be turned regularly.

How to make a gun from wood
One of the proven ways to engage a child can be military sports games, both in the fresh air and within the confines of a house or apartment. Moreover, the game will be most interesting if you make all the necessary equipment and ammunition yourself.
The key element in this type of game is weapons, and in particular all kinds of pistols and machine guns. You can use weapons purchased in a store, but the most exciting and interesting thing will be to make a pistol from wood with your own hands. This activity can interest the child and contribute to the development of new skills and abilities. At the stage of preparation for the game, the question may arise about how to make a pistol out of wood. You don't need any supernatural abilities to do this. The whole process will not seem overly complicated.
What to do if the device does not work?
The reason may be that the second part of the spring is not held in place. What should be done? It is necessary to deepen the groove in which the spring is held.
You won't believe it, but even such a simple device can be upgraded! Yes, yes, don't be surprised. Now we'll tell you how.
We glue a strip to the bottom of the scarecrow, which we cut out of a matchbox. We cut out a fragment where there is sulfur for lighting matches. As a result of this improvement, the match will light up at the moment of firing.
Making a shooting pistol with bullets
Children often ask how to make a shooting version from whatman paper without the help of their parents. Now I’ll teach you in no time! The result is a simple design with bullets, which we will test on paper cups.
Looking at the photo, ask how to make such a simple, effective design? Just! Pay attention to the photo. They will help you figure out how to create a homemade “firearm” from whatman paper, tape and one rubber band.
Where does it start? From twisting tubes of white paper. First, one is created, then the second one is folded according to its shape. To ensure that the parts retain their shape, the edges are fixed with glue.
Then the tubes are shortened to a length of 15 cm, and the remaining trimmings are not thrown away!
We fold a sheet of orange paper in four, the resulting part will serve as the future handle. A tube of smaller diameter is equipped with an additional holder. This is the remnant of the tube into which the elastic is inserted.
We connect the structural parts using glue or tape. We make a cut on the top tube; our stretched elastic band will cling to it.
Now let's test! For shooting you will need targets, for example, light plastic cups.
Let's arrange them in the form of a pyramid, and, pulling the elastic band back, open aimed fire.
Bullets can serve as:
- lumps of paper;
- plasticine balls;
- peas;
- seeds;
- beads.
Attention! Just don't shoot at people, you might accidentally cause a painful injury!
Modernization of the device
In the future, you can improve your scarecrow. To do this, you need to glue a fragment of a matchbox with sulfur on it to its lower part. It's not hard to do. After this upgrade, matches will light up when fired. This will add additional efficiency to this device. Also, part of the matchbox can be completely replaced with a piece of sandpaper. However, in this case you will have to insert the matches into the scarecrow backwards. It won't be very convenient. This problem is much easier to solve by lighting a match before firing. In this case, you should not neglect the danger posed by burning shells. Never use them indoors, do not shoot at flammable objects, and it is advisable to wear safety glasses. And of course, under no circumstances aim at people or animals. The match shooter is capable of shooting at a distance of up to five meters, and sometimes even further.
How to make a cool minecraft gun
The cool computer toy Minecraft has captivated gamers in different parts of our planet. What's so special about it? Men with square heads run around locations from zombies and shoot pixelated weapons. Anyone who has played this toy at least once knows that it’s fun, exciting, and the players’ adrenaline goes through the roof at 200%.
For fans of computer games, I suggest you watch a fascinating master class and create a powerful Minecraft gun.
Visual photos will show the stages of work performed by the skillful hands of master Samodelkin. And I will give useful tips on how to easily and quickly make such a cool pistol.
Before you begin, you will need a color printout from the Internet. Place two pictures on a white sheet of paper; they will serve as the cover for our future weapon. Please note that the details on the printout must be mirrored!
Next you need to find an old unnecessary box. Pizza packaging or parts of the container in which household appliances were delivered will do.
We cut out the templates using a knife or scissors, and use them to prepare 4 cardboard blanks.
Now you will need hot glue to work. Using it we connect the parts, but leave a hole in the middle for the future trigger.
On a note! If we are making a shooting pistol, then we need clearance for the trigger. And if a child likes the model of a Minecraft gun, then we don’t cut out the hole, but make a solid model.
The base for the gun is ready. We strengthen it with tape, paint it with black paint and leave it until completely dry.
At the final stage of work you will need office glue or PVA. With its help, we will paste our colored blanks onto the base. We will use a knife to form a gap on the top of the gun, an elastic band will be attached to it, and a multi-layer cardboard trigger will serve as the trigger mechanism. It turned out great, didn't it?
Pugach - MK
That scarecrow... Tin, shiny, with a convex pattern - a reclining lion with a long tail, as if lashing itself on the sides... My head was spinning, my heart sank with envy - when I saw these scarecrows in the hands of boys my age.
The scarecrow cost three rubles. And another fifty kopecks - six powder plugs for it.
There were no white ones that looked like pills, but tiny cones-volcanoes, in the mouths of which for some reason a pink explosive mixture was hidden (was it really gunpowder? - I thought that gunpowder should be white, like salt) mixture.
The cork was inserted into a short hollow, located under the main, long barrel, equipped with a striker. It was an annoying detail that interfered with the resemblance of a real weapon. For the shot, it turns out, was fired not from the muzzle, but from an auxiliary hole that imitated it.
The spring was pulled back, that is, I beg your pardon, the trigger was cocked - also, alas, not the way I would have liked - an ordinary screw, a screw with a thread and a separating recess for a screwdriver on the head, after which the revolver was ready to fire. The trigger was pulled and a deafening bang sounded...
Pugachi was brought by a junk dealer on a cart harnessed to a red mare. (It happened at the dacha, in Lesnoy Gorodok.) The tin twins lay wrapped in rags. The boys ran from all directions.
One could pay for the scarecrows not only with money, but also with things. And many stole their father’s jackets and mother’s dresses from home.
No one could resist the temptation to hold this tin miracle in their hands, to make it their own, to shoot upward from it.
But my mother didn’t give me money to buy a scarecrow. It was true that money was difficult. The main reason, I think, was not poverty, but fear that something might happen to me because of this shooting. Still, the noise the scarecrow made was death-like. And powder plugs... Who knows... What to expect from them?
And then my aunt, my mother’s sister, came to visit my mother. It had to be such a coincidence - it was on that day that a junk dealer drove into the yard on his creaking cart. I rushed home just to report the appearance of a magician. There was no point in repeating the request—my mother knew it by heart. Although deep down I hoped that maybe she would have mercy.
Aunt heard in my intonations what my mother did not want to notice. And, looking at my mother, she asked: what kind of scarecrows? I didn’t let my mother open her mouth and rattled it off myself, began to explain it hastily and confusingly. Auntie looked questioningly at mom again. Somehow silently they exchanged glances and just as silently came to an agreement. Aunt said she would give this gift.
And she took out three coveted rubles from her wallet. I lost my head with happiness. But, feeling that if now, immediately, I don’t draw out the happiness completely, such luck may never happen again, I also muttered about traffic jams, powder plugs, for fifty kopecks, without which the scarecrow is not a scarecrow, but just a child’s toy...
I also received this subsidy!
I rushed to the junk dealer. Two of the six traffic jams were shot right next to the cart and to the envy of those who had run out of ammunition.
Two - in the presence of my mother and aunt, on the street, while my mother was terribly afraid for me, made impetuous movements to help me, and I looked condescendingly at her feminine fears. I used another cork sparingly in honor of my father’s arrival at the dacha.
And I kept the last one for so long that it either deteriorated or became damp, the shot didn’t fire, it didn’t work, there wasn’t even a pop.
Either from this very shooting, or from the fact that the scarecrow always carried with him, a crack appeared in the place where the muzzle flowed into the drum. Over time it increased. In addition, the hole in the empty handle became more and more distressing - an uneven hole, a common flaw in mold casting.
“But I said,” my mother tried to moderate my sorrows, “this is not a gun, but a hack...
But there was something about that weapon, even if it had lost its marketable appearance... Indescribably attractive... Courageous... Brave... I still make a stern face, remembering the scarecrow.
What was the name of that small cinema at the very beginning of Arbat? "Science and life"? “Science and technology”? “Popular science cinema”? Doesn't matter. Documentaries were shown there.
And so my dad took me to see a film about strange, exotic nature. It seems that there were elephants, snakes, huge butterflies in this film... I couldn’t imagine anything like that.
I didn’t even imagine that this could happen.
And then the movie ended, we left the darkened hall and went out into the street. And - I don’t know why - it turned out that the next session would be a film about the underwater world. (Perhaps we were originally going to make this second film, so it became known about it.
) And a situation arose in which I, shy, timid, well aware that you cannot ask for more than what you are entitled to, considered it possible to whine, whine, and express a cautious wish. And I did not meet with a sharp refusal. And - thoughtful doubt: after all, mom is waiting at home for dinner.
I realized that I can persevere. And he began to beg, almost insist. Oh miracle! Dad took two more tickets from the box office. And he called my mother from a pay phone and said: we decided to watch one more movie and we’ll come back later.
Two sessions in a row! And what kind! The first is about Africa (apparently), the second is about the ocean... Is such happiness possible?
And then we came home and had dinner, and I, choking, told my mother about what I had seen... Was there a more fabulous day in my life?
That we should be generous with nonsense, with the smallest thing that can give another an ocean of bliss? After all, dad could well have said “no.” And find a good reason for your refusal. (Which we almost always do.)
To give a person happiness, you need such a little. Trifle.

Drawing selection
Having decided on the model and parameters of the pistol, you need to make a drawing of it or modify the existing one, taking into account all the nuances and wishes. It is possible to use illustrations or photographs of the weapon you like to recreate the smallest details as much as possible. You can turn to specialized forums, where they can tell you how to make a wooden pistol as similar as possible to the original.
The next step will be this: you should transfer the image of the previously made drawing to the existing workpiece, preserving all the parameters and dimensions and taking into account all the smallest details and features of the future pistol. To make it convenient to cut a wooden workpiece, it can be secured in a table vice or using clamps. This will greatly facilitate the process of making a pistol. It is worth cutting out parts not strictly according to the applied contour, but with a little margin for finishing.
Video description
The video tells how to drive snakes away from your summer cottage:
It scatters throughout the area, has an unpleasant, persistent odor, and is washed off by the rain. Anyone who is looking for an answer to the question of how to drive snakes away from a summer cottage can use folk remedies of this type. But if the pellets get into the mouth of a pet or child, it will end badly. Therefore, aggressive preparations can be used where the site is still being developed and undergoing landscaping.
The rest can be advised to plant garlic along the fence, scatter mustard powder around the perimeter of the site, scatter mothballs and sulfur balls near the compost heap or in a destroyed bird's nest, install iron pinwheels on the ground (their blades will spin in the wind, transmit vibrations and scare away creeping guests).
Revolver and shotgun diagrams
To create the proposed type of weapon, you will not need any fastening materials, only 2 sheets of paper: one shorter, the other longer. They both need to be rolled into a tube and bent in half.
Make a handle from the smaller tube as follows: step back from the center (where the fold is) 2-3 centimeters and bend both sides outward. At the closed end of the long tube you need to make a small loop and insert a handle made from a smaller figure into it. You will get a paper gun.
To work on a paper revolver, prepare a sheet of paper. It needs to be divided in half. Fold one part to form a strip. It also needs to be folded in half and, stepping back from the fold line, bent down. This will be the handle (holder).
Then roll a strip from the second part of the sheet and wrap it around the top of the previous shape. Make tubes from two small sheets of paper of different lengths and insert them into the connectors of the finished part. The revolver is ready.
The principle of operation of the control method
Moles themselves are not pests for vegetable gardens. They do not eat the root system or fruits of plants. Rather, on the contrary, they destroy most of the harmful underground parasites, since they are the main diet of these animals. But moles dig numerous underground passages, which is why unpresentable strips of earth appear on the surface of the earth. Also, due to digging, the roots of plantings can be damaged.
You can get rid of a mole in different ways. Garden stores offer many electronic repellers based on the principle of ultrasonic waves - they are inaudible to humans due to their high frequency, but extremely unpleasant to animals (mice, rats and other rodents are driven out of the area in the same way). However, such devices are quite expensive and consume a large amount of energy.
A good alternative would be to make a device such as a mole repeller. Most of the “folk” methods are extremely inexpensive to implement. Of course, they are inferior in efficiency to ultrasonic ones, but in this case you have to choose between speed and savings.
How to make a rubber gun with your own hands
Rubber shooter The basis was taken from a ready-made model of the Parabellum pistol. Replicating the pistol in comparison with the previously published one (see for everyone who is making a rubber rifle for the first time) turned out to be not very difficult, although one detail had to be redone by clarifying the drawing. The construction material is simple - scraps of planed boards 15-20 mm thick, pieces of five-layer and three-layer plywood. You will also need: a piece of metal rod or nails with a diameter of 3-3.5 mm, six small screws or self-tapping screws with a countersunk head, PVA glue and a spring from a fountain pen. Tools for work - a jigsaw, a drill with a set of drills, a clamp, medium-grain sandpaper, a screwdriver, a metal saw or wire cutters.
Firecracker - balloon
Another original and fun way to entertain guests and delight children at the holiday is to make your own balloon cracker. In addition, such homemade firecrackers will be an excellent addition and frame for competitions or holiday quizzes. Making a New Year's firecracker in the form of a balloon is not difficult. To do this, you only need to prepare a set of balloons, buy or cut up as much confetti as possible, and also find a plastic funnel with which to pour liquids. The further procedure is as follows:
A funnel is inserted into the neck of the balloon and confetti is poured inside with its help.
Please note that if in previous firecrackers it was possible to use serpentine with rain, here all the elements should be as small as possible. When the balloon is full, you need to carefully inflate it
Do not inhale while inflating! Otherwise, you may choke on glitter and confetti. Therefore, adults should still entrust the inflation of filled balloons. By the way, if you don’t want to tie a balloon to a string and hang ready-made firecrackers around the room, you can inflate the balloons with helium and then they will fly around the room on their own. Please note that it is best to prepare such homemade firecrackers the day before the celebration and no later than a couple of hours before the guests arrive. Because if you make such crackers too early, the balloon will deflate, and if it’s too late, the confetti will not have time to be evenly distributed inside. When the balls are ready, they are tied with thread or rope and the room is decorated with them.
Well, in order for such a toy in the form of a balloon with a secret to work, it will need to burst. So the cracker will have both a sound effect and a visual one. A cheerful mood and confetti fluttering in the air are guaranteed for everyone!
Any leisure time can be made more exciting if you devote it to making simple but very interesting crafts with your own hands. Today you can find many instructions and diagrams that allow you to make simple origami-style figures. Too boring? Are you ready to surprise your friends with a paper cracker - an artfully folded piece of paper that can make very loud pops? To do this, simply study our proposed scheme for making this original figure and repeat the steps shown in the photo.
Reproduction of scarecrows
Statutory maturity among scarecrows reaches the second or third river of life. And the scarecrows are monogamous birds that create personal families, which do not separate at the end of the mating period, a pair of scarecrows are “knocked in” and continue to live and swim together.
The love ritual of scarecrows begins at the request of a partner; the female, as a rule, calls the male to special hoots. Then there is a ritual bathing and kissing of each other (obviously, “kissing” among scarecrows may be different, but this is not our understanding of this action).
Then the scarecrows grow nests in the hollows of trees, and they can take over other people’s nests, which are kept out of sight. After about an hour, the female begins to lay eggs and lay eggs at intervals of one or two days. Start laying more scarecrow eggs and create 4-5 eggs.
Scarecrow eggs are round in shape and covered with a wooly scarlet. The nesting of eggs is carried out exclusively by the female, while the male is engaged in breeding hedgehogs for his homeland. After 32-35 days, little chicks hatch into the world. Little scarecrows are born blind and only begin to see on the fourth day of life.
The little scarecrows spend the first days of their lives under the care of their mother as they grow up and protect their babies. After 5-7 years, the scarecrow chicks will begin to develop short flights, by the 8th day they can already fly short distances, and after another month they will become ready for adulthood and independent life.
Safe firecracker with confetti for New Year or Birthday
Now we’ve come close to the beautiful holiday firecrackers. You can put not only confetti inside them, but also glitter, paper balls and even candies.
And you can give such a toy to children of absolutely any age, it is safe and will not harm anyone.
Let's take:
- bushing,
- ball,
- confetti,
- colored paper,
- scotch.
First, take a regular balloon; it should not be inflated. We tie its end with a thread. Then we cut through the opposite wide part with scissors. Next, take the sleeve and pull the ball onto one end. The tail should be exactly in the center. For reliability, we rewind the ball to the sleeve with tape. Look what happens.
Next, take glue and decorate our toy.
We wrap the cracker with colored paper for beauty. Sprinkle confetti inside.
That's it, you can play.
Pull the tail of the ball and release it. All the confetti flies out.
Safety precautions for use
Since the scarecrow's projectile can have a range of up to five meters, never use it at home or in other areas. You should also not aim at other people, children or animals. Also keep the crossbow away from flammable objects. It is highly advisable to wear goggles to protect your eyes when using burning projectiles; caution is a good idea. Happy using!
Homemade pyrotechnic noise entertainment. They existed in several varieties.
1. From a bicycle spoke. A spoke was removed from a bicycle wheel, always in its entirety, with the head attached to the wheel rim. A nail equal in diameter to the head was also needed. To avoid getting lost, this nail was tied by the head to one end of the rope, which should be about a third less than the length of the knitting needle, the other end of the rope was tied to the curved end of the knitting needle, with which it held the wheel axle. They took matches and scraped off the sulfur from them. Then the sulfur was loaded into the head at the end of the knitting needle, a nail was inserted into the head - the knitting needle bent and became like a bow for throwing arrows. The scarecrow was ready. It worked simply - you had to hit the end with the nail with force on a hard surface. The result was a decent pop, much louder than the pop from the caps.
2. From a small tube, 10-15 centimeters long, about 5 mm in diameter. One end of the tube was bent at an angle of 90 degrees, its shoulder was 3-5 cm. Then molten lead was poured into the tube so that even air would not pass through the bent tip. We also took a nail that would fit very tightly into this very tube; it was also bent from the side of the head at the same angle and with the same shoulder size as that of the tube. Finally, an elastic band was needed, mainly from a bicycle inner tube - it was put on the bent ends of a tube and a nail. Operating principle: matches were taken, sulfur was scraped off from them, which was loaded into a tube. Then a nail was inserted and the elastic was tightened. Then it was necessary to carefully pull the nail inside the tube and rest it against the inner wall. The device was cocked and ready to fire. If you squeeze it in your hand, pressing simultaneously on the rubber band and the tube, the nail slides inward and hits the sulfur with force, which is why a pop occurs. The main thing with this device was not to overcharge it, otherwise it could explode in your hands. And some people specially filled the pipe to capacity with sulfur from matches, cocked it and threw it away...
3. From two large bolts and a nut. The bolts were fastened with a nut, and sulfur from matches was placed between them. The device had to be thrown with force against a hard surface with one of the bolt heads.
4. They found a hole in the asphalt where they stuffed sulfur from matches. They placed a nail on top and threw a brick onto the structure.
5. From the details of the game “Crossroads”. We took the keys from the winding machines of the game “Crossroads”, 3-4 feathers from the tail of a dove, a nail (of such a diameter that it could tightly close the most voluminous part of the key) and a roll of wire. The feathers were attached to the narrow part of the key using matches and electrical tape and served as a stabilizer. The nail was cut to approximately 2 cm in length (it was necessary to leave the part with the head) and attached to the key using a lead wire. Sometimes the key was weighted with pieces of lead. Sulfur was driven into the most voluminous part, which was then closed with a nail with a head (“striker”). Application: the scarecrow was thrown up or dropped from a height at the feet of the “victim” and was triggered when the nail head hit a hard surface.
Difficulty level: Easy
1 step
1 Take the tube, measure 70 mm and bend it at an angle of 90 degrees (to get an L-shaped blank), the short end is ivy using a hammer.
Step 2
2. We tightly hammer the foil (shot) into the tube, about 2 cm, i.e. There should be 5 cm of free hollow space left.
Step 3
3. Take a nail, measure the length one cm longer than the length of the hollow space (the nail will serve as a striker for the charge, piston method) and bend it at an angle of 90 degrees (L-shaped).
Step 4
4. Charge. We take 2-3 matches, crush the heads into the hole on the edge of the tube, and tamp them with our nail. We put the elastic band on the short edge of the tube and the nail closer to the edge. We pull the nail so that it catches on the break with the tube (the elastic band will press it). All is ready.
Step 5
5. You can activate it by throwing the scarecrow onto the floor, hitting the surface with the head of a nail, or simply pressing the rubber band. It will be BANG!
- Most importantly, follow safety precautions as with pyrotechnic devices: 1. Do not use near flammable objects. 2. Do not bring it close to people. 3. Keep minors away. 4. Do not exceed the charge of match heads. 5. Do not use other flammable substances (gunpowder, etc.) 6. Observe etiquette. Where and how and with whom to use it.
Pugach
- a simple invention that can make a loud sound. Often guys do these things in the yard to drive away dogs or just to laugh at someone. The design of the scarecrow is very simple, even a school-age child can handle it.
How to make a scarecrow from a tube with your own hands?
For the scarecrow we need:
Tube (metal), size: length 10 cm, diameter - 3-4 cm; - nail, 7-9 cm; - a piece of a bicycle tube; - foil.
Gel pen
It differs from a regular ball one in that a gel rod is inserted into the prepared flask. The gel aquarium pen looks original. To create it, you will need a transparent tube with a wooden stopper, sealed at one end (something suitable can be found in a pharmacy or chemical glass store).
A hole is made in the cork according to the diameter of the rod; the cork can also be painted with acrylic paint. A mixture of water and glycerin is poured into the flask - the more glycerin, the thicker the filler, and the slower the decor will float in the body. We pour glitter, stars, and foil fish into the flask, insert the rod into the cork and close the flask tightly (for reliability, you can secure the cork with waterproof glue).
Oxytocin for dogs
Oxytocin for dogs is an injectable hormonal drug. The drug is a synthetic analogue of the polypeptide hormone of the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland.
The pharmacological effect of the drug is that it enhances the contraction of the uterus and increases its tone, promotes the release of the placenta during childbirth and facilitates the movement of milk through the ducts of the mammary glands.
Oxytocin is prescribed to female dogs for weak pushing during childbirth, uterine bleeding, inflammation of the uterus, mastitis and other diseases associated with the animal’s reproductive system.
Oxytocin is a very serious drug, the unreasonable use of which can lead to uterine rupture and death of both the mother dog and the puppies. The use of the drug without the recommendation of a veterinarian is, in principle, unacceptable. Some very experienced breeders, who have knowledge about the health of their dog and have given birth to more than one, sometimes take a risk and inject oxytocin into the giving birth bitch. For a beginner, such “amateur activity” can bring big trouble.
Oxytocin injections can only be given after the first puppy is born and before the last baby is born. But, before giving the injection, you need to do a fluoroscopy, ultrasound and constantly monitor the dog’s cardiac activity. These procedures are necessary because if the puppy is positioned incorrectly, as shown by an x-ray or ultrasound, then injecting oxytocin is strictly prohibited, because uterine rupture is possible.
Do not take responsibility for the life of your dog and her puppies. If labor is prolonged and something goes wrong, contact a veterinarian who knows exactly what will need to be done in this situation: inject the dog with oxytocin or perform a caesarean section.

The basic unit of volume is the milliliter. The usual liter in everyday life is rarely used as a dose, but still sometimes used. For example, “the volume of liquid required for a cleansing enema is 1 liter” or “the daily volume of infusion therapy is 1.5 liters.”
If it is not indicated, that is, it is simply written 15.0, it means that this is not a volume, but a mass - 15 grams. If we are talking about milliliters, then next to the number 15 it should be written - ml: 15.0 ml.
Whenever a drug is administered parenterally in a specified quantity of ml, it is assumed that this volume will be measured with an injection syringe of the appropriate size or an infusion solution bottle with appropriate volume markings will be used.

How do scarecrows bark?
Scary miracles, before the same owls, they still successfully plod both day and night. The process of watering in the scarecrows is like this: there are short transitions, they look like the potential for profit and if, in its grief, the scarecrow is caught in the eyes, it quickly rushes at the victim, rushes into it with your sharp claws.
Here’s a simple fact: when it’s time to fish for fish, scarecrows can dive into the water for up to an hour.
The scarecrow, as a rule, captures small animals, field mice, lemmings, and other rodents whole, and tears larger game into pieces with its claws.
See the scarecrows, name the photo
Next we will describe the types of scarecrows that we see.
White owl
At first, the white owl was seen in its original form, and later ornithologists, rejoicing, decided to classify the white owl as a genus of scarecrows. The polar owl is the largest representative of owls that inhabit the tundra, reaching 70 cm in height and up to 3 kg of weight. Once these birds are fertilized, they are practically invisible in the still winter landscape. The main species of white owls are lemings, which have plump plumage, and have a lot to do with their famous migrations of relationships, including the white owl's way of life. And while many lemings die through migration, white owls also begin to reproduce through the availability of food supply.
Ribny scarecrow
Its other name, the far-flung scarecrow, signifies the habitat of this bird. The scarecrow is also one of the largest representatives of the family of owls and scarecrows, measuring 70 cm in height and weighing about 4 kg. Its main ingredients are fish and other seafood. The nests of these scarecrows may be located in the hollows of old trees not far from the water.
Pugach zvichainy
Here is another great representative of the kingdom of scarecrows, which lingers across a wide geographical area from Europe to China. The scarecrow usually settles in forests, but it can also live in deserts or in the mountains. There are no objects for watering, zoologists believe that there are more than 300 species of birds and about 130 species of rodents, and the gastronomic diversity of these scarecrows is all right.
Bengal scarecrow
The Bengal scarecrow is of medium size, its average body length is 50-56 cm, and its weight is 1.1 kg. Its notable feature is the lightly barred plumage of the yellow-brown color. It hangs around in such Asian countries as India, Pakistan, Nepal, Burma, under the protection of Indian rule.
Virginia scarecrow
This species of scarecrow, which lingers in America, was first discovered by white colonists in the territory of the current state of Virginia, USA, for which it lost its name. Its size is literally a fraction of the size of the European scarecrow - its size is 63.5 cm. And it is the largest scarecrow on the American continent. There are also different colored feathers, which can be rusty-brown, black, white, gray. The diet and way of living of the Virginia scarecrow is very similar to those of its European relatives.
African scarecrow
Just as crazy as a flamboyant scarecrow. And by the way, even a very small representative of the kingdom of scarecrows, it grows up to 45 cm in height. The plumage of this scarecrow is chervo-brown in color with white stripes chaotically scattered all over its body. It lives, as its name implies, on the African continent, in Eastern Africa, and also occurs on the Arabian Peninsula. Due to its small size, the main diet of this scarecrow is the slaughter of great mosquitoes.
The gray scarecrow
Just like the Abyssinian scarecrow. Previously, stinkers were regarded as the African scarecrow, but later ornithologists saw them in their other form. It is light brown or dark brown with dark spots on the breasts. They procrastinate in Africa, during the day in the dry desert of the Sahara.
Nepalese scarecrow
The Nepalese scarecrow, which hangs around in Asian countries, is of medium size, its body length is about 51-61 cm. thinner, lower senior representatives. Another special feature of this type of scarecrow is its voice, which is very similar to a human one. This peculiarity is often barked by the local population, which is why this bird is nicknamed “ulama”, which in Nepali translates to “devil bird”.
